Correct answer is (a) True

Explanation: In copper-alloy foundry practice, charcoal is used to prevent the molten metal from being oxidized, and some commercially available fluxes may be employed to cleanse the metal that is to separate it from dross. Hence it is a prime material in the copper-alloy foundry.
